The story revolves around a high school girl named Fujioka Haruhi (Kawaguchi) at the prestigious Ouran Academy, who stumbles upon a group of male students who have formed their own club as hosts. Accidentally breaking an antique vase, Haruhi ends up owing the club a vast amount of money, and she ends up posing as a host in order to repay her debt. --Tokyograph

Before watching the episode to refresh my memory and because I just love Ouran, I re-watched the first episode of the anime and it doesn’t matter how many times I re-watch Ouran I always enjoy it just as the first time I watched this awesome anime.

After re-watching the first episode of the anime I proceeded to watch the first episode of the J-drama…I was a bit worried because I didn’t know how well it could translate a series like Ouran into the drama realm, to my grateful surprise it translated just wonderfully.

The first episode of the J-drama was pretty faithful to the canon material but it wasn’t quite the same as to what happens in the anime/manga, which it wasn’t bad at all because it made me feel like watching something new but familiar at the same time…I hope that made sense.

The acting was great!! All the cast portrayed their respective characters fantastically, especially Yamamoto Yuusuke. Yes, he doesn’t look 100% like Tamaki, but he sure knows how to bring Tamaki’s personality to life. He has absolutely captured Tamaki’s essence.

The first episode of this J-drama was very enjoyable and I’m already looking forward to the second episode. I re-watched the third episode of the anime in preparation for the second ep of the J-drama and I hope it is just as fun as the third episode of the anime. ^_^

Re: Ouran High School Host Club

Yey!! I'm glad you make the thread, destiny4ever!
Now we can discuss this awesome live-action to our hearts' content.

I have to agree that Yusuke isn't similar in anyway to Tamaki in appearance but the personality... geez~ he really captured the baka prince's personality.

I have to say this though: HITACHIIN TWINS! YOU GUYS ARE SO ADORABLE!!! >.<
I'm sorry but I just have to let the world know that I love them the best with their "little devils" personality and naughty smiles. I hope in the upcoming episodes, they'll start on their pranks! XD

The first episode was indeed very enjoyable (and hilarious too ) and I can't wait for the second eps to be subbed.

Episode 2

Another great episode! It is amazingly how faithfully they are adapting Ouran and at the same time they manage to bring some new and fresh to the table; that’s why although I know what is coming and I can enjoy the episode without a problem. As I said before it’s like watching something familiar but new at the same time.

Yuusuke keeps impressing me with his acting , he’s Tamaki! He can perfectly portray Tamaki’s funny/baka side as well as his cool/awesome side.

Haruna-chan is a great actress as well; I especially enjoyed her acting during the scene when she gives Tamaki the evil/mad glance; it was exactly like in the anime.

I have nothing against Kenozawa but the excess of him is beginning to bother me as well, he is turning into what Renge was in the anime, an annoyance. I would easily do without him in each episode.

It seems the next ep will be an original one but I don’t remember that story happening in the manga or anime.

I want to give comment for Honey-senpai too! Finally, we can see another expression of him. (I'm tired of seeing him being "kawaii" all the time.)
The twins are great too.. Tamaki definitely fell for their pranks. XD
I love the part when Haruhi glared at Tamaki and Tamaki seemed really terrified. oh, and also the part when Tamaki called Kyouya "okaa-san". Kyouya's reaction here was different from the anime but it's really funny coz he had the expression "who? me?" but then giving it no thought and the others just stared at him. XD

Hmm, I think the next eps will be different from the anime too... coz the part "Haruhi is going to quit". There's no such thing in the anime right? But they have the Bali costume and I perfectly remember that in the anime they wore such costume. (or am I mistaken to think it's Bali costume? )

Honey-senpai’s dark side is scary. I liked that they showed that in the J-drama as well.

Haruhi was going to quit…well…actually the hosts thought Haruhi was going to quit in episode 9.

Benio "Benibara" Amakusa, head of the Zuka club at Lobelia Girls' Academy, chances upon Haruhi and, instantly recognizing that she is a girl, tries to convince her to join her school and her club. Convinced that Haruhi will leave them, the boys dress up as girls to show Haruhi that she could be around boys and girls at the same time. Haruhi reveals that she came to Ouran Academy for a reason, and says that she was never planning to leave for Lobelia Girls' Academy in the first place. The Zuka club girls leave, but refuse to give up, warning the club that they will be back for Haruhi.

Re: Ouran High School Host Club

i hated the lobelia part on anime so much.
I hope they can do a great work on it, if they decide to do it.
I wonder if they will try to find japanese girls with low tone or if they will use studio effects.

Re: Ouran High School Host Club

The subbed one is already out and I can say that it's ... AWESOME! XD
Well, the story is different from the anime but I'm not disappointed at all since it's still a good story.
It's really funny when they asked Haruhi to pick one of them as her teacher but she rejected them all (though all of them are top students). XD
The twins are adorable as usual but I got to say that Kyouya is the best in this episode. I love his evil schemes and the way he tilts his glasses.
And Haruhi actually did the kiss scene. It's all because of the baka prince.
I can't wait to see next eps! It's about Renge... Oh well, I don't like Renge but it means next week it will be more focused to Kyouya...
I also saw in the preview that Honey-senpai looks angry. Oh wow, I really want to know what happen.

(Btw, do you notice in the Mori-senpai and Honey-senpai pic there that Mori-senpai used his middle finger? XD)
